Omar Kayyam's Rubaiyat
Original literal work from http://www.okonlife.com

Literal
I resolve daily that at dusk I shall repent
For a night with a cup full of wine spent
In the presence of flowers, my resolve simply went
In such company, I only regret that I ever resolved to repent
My Understanding
The cyclic nature of error and repentence is bought out. If the intent is to get out of the cycle, one has to go beyond repentence
